Thank you very much for that information. Do you have any idea what religion he was? I am planning a visit in Septemebr from Australia and it would help me to locate which parish records to focus on. Also, his mother was Esther Phillips Cochrane - would you have any info on her?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Have you found the info you were looking for as I have his records and the rest of the family ie sisters, mother etc records.  We are descendants of his brother William Cochrane.  The one he sailed with to Australia.

Thanks
